We had a wonderful time staying at Casa De Blue (2008), we stayed in the “white” house which was exactly what we were looking for. Relaxation and sun with a mixture of good wine, food and nice people. Top 3 of all places we have visited so far, around the world. Lourdas beach is amazing and so is ofcourse, Myrtos (Do not miss to do a daytrip to this amazing beach). Thanks Marinos, keep the good work up, we’ll meet again. Hopefully this summer 2010.

Thank you so much for two lovely meals, friendliness and helpfulness with our baby. We were on our honeymoon and Marinos was so nice to us, even letting us use his sunbeds free of charge. We will definitely come back.

We visited Lourdas in Kefalonia for the first time in September and we were fortunate enough to discover Casa De Blue Restaurant early on in our holiday. After our first meal there we did not eat anywhhere else. Marinos, the owner, was very friendly and generous and the meals we had were all excellent, especially the mousaka. We would also recommend the house white wine which was also very good value. We did not stay in the studios there as we were already booked in somewhere else, but Marinos was kind enough to let us use the pool and one of his studios on the last day because we had had to vacate our own. We would not hesitate to stay at one of these studios on any future visit to the area. Thank you Marinos for your generosity, especially the free deserts presented at the end of each meal. We look forward to returning soon.

What can I say! Stayed for 2 weeks in Sept , this place is fantastic. Casa de Blue has THE best paronamic views anywhere. Woke up to the sunrise in the morning & watched the sunset in the evening. The restuarant is really good , the food is some of the best I have tasted and the price is very good. Marinos the owner is a fantastic guy , a hard working family man who goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great time.
I’ll never forget Lourdas , it must be visited.

We spent two glorious weeks in Lourdas and ate most evenings at Casa de Blue because the owner Marinos was such a good host. Excellent food, wine and company would thoroughly recommend a visit to anyone. We are going back next year – looking forward to hearing about your lovely family and to get an update on the little dog your son adopted and was going to take to Athens when he commenced his studies. Love to you all – heres wishing you a successful season next year cus you deserve it!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

After a stressful few months at work we booked a last minute deal at the beginning of October 2010, we more or less had the place to ourselves, and were made very welcome.

Marinos proved to be a very good host, the food, service and overall experience was excellent. Our room had a fantastic view.

For people who don’t know the area Lourdas is within easy reach of Argostoli, the airport and the South of the Island, also if you fancy a trip up into the hills. You may need a car as the walk to the beach is a steep one

What can one say of the beautiful Island of Kefalonia and wonderful hospitality of Marinos and his wife? Here goes…
My girlfriend and I (both 24) stayed at Casa de Blue recently for 10 days. Our room was spacious with a balcony, fridge/freezer, two hobs, a sink and many cupboards. We overlooked the sea which was a tremendous bonus. The owner, Marinos, was very hospitable and spoke English well. The food at his restaurant was excellent – ranging from breakfasts through to snacks and evening meals. He and his wife own a restaurant which she runs 100 yards away from the studios called “Zorbas”. Naturally, everything cooked here is of a high standard also.
The Island is wonderful and needs to be explored – and with no fewer than 5 car and scooter rental shops within 500m of the Studios there is no excuse! Note that Lourdata is the least ‘touristy’ area of the island with steep slopes to the visually stunning and unmolested beaches.
Efharisto pouli Marinos! Tha se thoume pali mia emera!

We’ve enjoyed our stay at Casa de Blue very much. We had a room with a fantastic view over the sea.
You and your daughters took care of us like we not often see… Always interested and asking if everything is ok…
Serving great food, wine and little snacks to get a taste of Kefalonia.
You made it feel like home. Thx.

As for Kefalonia… A beautiful island with many places to visit, nice beaches and good places to eat or have a cappuccino freddo.

You will need a car or motorbike because the climbs can be very hard. Especial during the summer when the temperatures are high.

Dear Marinos.
Thank you for a lovely stay at Casa de Blue.
We left yesterday and back in The Netherlands we miss your food and the fantastic views from room 15 already.
It was very “gezellig”

We have just returned from two weeks in fabolous Lourdas and although we stayed in
accomodation down near the beach we ate at Casa de Blue most nights and it was well
worth the walk up that hill!
The food especially the Moussaka Tomato soup and the cheesecake! was excellent .
Thank you Marinos for making our holiday extra special and thank you to your lovely
wife for everything.
We look forward to returning later in the year but until then we would recommend
anyone to pay you a visit.
Food 10/10
Service 10/10
Friendliness & hospitality 10/10

My partner and I stayed at Casa De Blue last summer, September 2011. I am contemplating another peaceful get-away, and the resort of Lourdas comes to mind. Marinos, the owner of the hotel, is a great man who puts a lot of effort into making people’s holiday worthwhile. The rooms were clean, pleasant and functional and the views were fantastic! My memories, in summary, are of a place which is peaceful, friendly, comfortable and deserving a visit. Marinos’ food is delicious by the way… those who chose to stay at Casa de Blue will not be disappointed.

We have just returned from a week a Casa de Blue ( 12-19 June) and we had a fabulous week. Our 5th time in Lourdas but our first staying at the top of the hill. Got to say we won’t be staying at the bottom again! We had a double with a sea view- fantastic! Accomodation was well equipped and very clean, pool is huge with lots of loungers/umbrellas. Marinos is a true gentleman who looks after his guests so well and works so hard and cannot do enough for you! Thank you Marinos we will be back and will recommend Casa de Blue to everyone we know. As above 10 out of 10 for everyhing! Wish we were still there!!
Hopefully see you soon

Just returned from a week at Casa de Blue (5 July – 12 July 2012). First time in Kefalonia but will definitely return. Accommodation spacious and clean with fantastic sea view from balcony. Service and hospitality offered by Marinos (Mr Lourdas!) and his team (mostly familly) was outstanding as he works tirelessly to ensure that your stay is memorable. The food especially the fish served in the hotel restauarant is delicious. Supermarket for breakfast items if required is close by.

I was lucky enough to stay at Casa de Bleu with my Daughter Sara and Grandson Tom during August ‘12 and had the most amazing holiday. I have visited many areas in Greece and have always had a lovely holiday but this really was ’something very special’.The Island is incredibly beautiful and the area of Lourdata is lovely. Our room was large,clean and had everything we needed including air-con (the weather was amazing at 40c+)and had the most wonderful view over the sea and surrounding area. The sunset is not to be missed.Marinos and his Daughter Effie are brilliant hosts and made our holiday extra special. A car is needed to see all of the island, Argostoli is lovely -go early in the morning to see the wonderful Loggerhead Turtles in the harbour, then to the Swallow Holes and Lighthouse.Myrtos Beach,Sami and Melissani are WOW! I can’t wait to go back!!!

Hi marinos and family thanks so much for making our stay so geat I would like to thank you and efi for making the time for stephen. You have made a friend for life. Thanks again from garry sue and Stephen beckett.

We just returned home from a wonderfull vacation for 3 weeks at Casa de Blue. Mary and Marino and there children are so friendly and helpfull so the place is a very good place to relax.
We sat under our own olive tree every day to look at the sea and talk to the chickens.
Also the food in their restaurant is fantastic. The beaches in the neighbourhood were really beautiful and when you rent a care you can experience the beauty of the island even more.
So thank you Mary and Marino, from Rob, Jose and Fay the chicken girl.

Dear Marinos, Mary, Dennis and Efi,
In September we were for the 3th time at Casa de Bleu and had again such a good time that we have made reservations for next year already. Then we will be at Casa de Bleu in May and bring some Stroopwafels again. See you in 2015. Efharisto Poli. Johan and Elles (room 15)
